Recording a full song with acoustic, bass and guitars with the Spark 40

Video initially posted on YouTube by Jason Little on the 2020-07-04

I recorded a short song using only the Spark amp and GarageBand with stock plugins.

Why? Because, you might be a new Spark owner and don’t have an interface and want to get started with recording. There’s no need to buy anything else.
